GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Overhills High School has been overall great. I met some of my closes friends now at the school and I got into activities that I didn't even know I would like. My academic experience overall hasn't been so great but I'm getting myself together. I know that I decided to get myself together last minute now that I'm a senior and everything but I don't want to fail at life & I want to go to college.

My school is great for many clues and overall after school activities. Here we have many different clubs and groups to help students grow and learn about their specific interests. If i had to change something about my school, I would help with the overall safety. Coming from a not so safe area in the state, we should really focus more on protecting students.

I don't want to deal with the drama and seceding fallout that comes with the school however I have to praise the school for despite all that still having a selection of AP classes and teacher that make it worth it. Teachers are a luck of the draw kind...

I'm currently attending OHS and I would say my 9th grade year was fine. I was a honor student and since I was very anti-social. but I will say there was a bat that was found in our cafeteria and even roaches anyways I didn't know many people unless I attended elementary or middle school with them.
